In Italian there are many little words used by native speakers that apparently don’t have a very precise meaning, but in reality, they express a concept, a well-defined meaning. In fact, in this lesson, we’ll look at one of these words: “appunto”, with all its uses and meanings, because it has many… Obviously, as always, we’ll give you many examples, to make learning easier and more practical.
